Safety Precautions
Death, bodily injury and/or
property damage could result if plug fails
for any reason. Unsafe practices can also
result in death or severe injury.
The following information provided
under “General Information,
“Preparation Before Use, “Operation,
and “Maintenance and Storage” must
always be followed. Pay careful attention
to safety information highlighted by this
symbol:
General Information
Follow all safety instructions contained in
OSHA and federal, state, and local regulations.
Do not use the plug if any conditions exist that
could jeopardize the safety of personnel or
property.
Conned Space Entry: Follow Federal,
State, local and/or company requirements for
entry into conned spaces.
Danger Zone: When a plug is in use, a
danger zone exists that expands outwardly
in a cone shape. NEVER enter the danger
zone when a plug is in use.
Preparation Before Use
1. Plug Selection: Select the proper
plug and related equipment. Every pipe
plug has performance specs listed
on the plug and /or in the literature.
Contact Cherne Industries or dealer for
recommendations.
2. Back Pressure Determination:
Determine maximum back pressure the
plug must withstand. Back pressure is
the pressure (air or liquid) in front or
back of the plug that it must restrain.
Never exceed the plug’s back
pressure rating. Maximum back
pressure ratings listed are for
plugs installed in clean, dry pipe
of nominal size. Usage of plugs
in pipeline that varies from these
conditions could reduce maximum
allowable back pressure.
3. Plug Size Selection: Pipe plugs have
a minimum and maximum sealing size
range. Verify the pipe inside diameter is
within the plug’s sealing (usage) range.
4. Pipe Design: Plug performance
could vary depending on pipe types.
For example, in corrugated pipe, plug
back pressure rating drops by 50%.
Contact Cherne Industries or dealer for
recommendations.
5.
Calibrated gauges: Failure to use
calibrated gauges could result in plug
over-ination or under-ination which
could lead to plug failure.
Monitor ination and back pressure
with calibrated pressure gauges only.
Use calibrated gauges and proper hoses
to monitor pressure, inate, and deate
the plug from outside of danger zone.
Contact Cherne Industries or dealer for
recommendations.
6. Cleaning and Inspection: Plugs must
be clean and inspected before and after
every use. Do not use a plug if it
has or shows any signs of wear
or deterioration. All natural rubber
products degrade over time, even if
they are used infrequently, stored
properly, and show no external
5
signs of damage. Because of this,
Cherne recommends that this plug
be retired from service no later
than 17 years after the date of
manufacture, which can be found
on the serial number tag, ination
end, non-ination end, or on the
plug body. If you cannot nd
the date of manufacture or have
questions, call 1-800-843-7584.
The inspection should include but not be
limited to looking for:
1. Cuts
2. Abrasions
3. Punctures
4. Bulges
5. Cracks
6. Corrosion
7. Loose or damaged ttings
& components
8. Leaks
7. Clean Pipe: Clean any debris or foreign
substances before placing plug. An
unclean pipe could reduce plug’s back
pressure holding capability and could
damage plug during placement or upon
ination.
Plug Rupture: Improper ination
or ination against a sharp object
could result in plug rupture.
8. Backup System: An additional backup
system should be considered to prevent
injury or property damage in case of
plug failure. Never use eye bolts, ination
hoses, or other attachments of the
plug as a means to restrain the plug
movement under back pressure.
9.
Plug Blocking: Failure to use
proper blocking/bracing could result
in a fatality.
Forces behind the plug could be
tremendous. A properly designed
blocking or bracing device must be
used to restrain any plug movement.
Operation
Danger Zone:
When a plug is in use,
a danger zone exists that expands
outwardly in a cone shape. NEVER enter
the danger zone when a plug is in use.
Temperature Range:
Pipe plugs
are designed for use at temperatures from
0°F to +125°F. Plug use outside of its
rated temperature range could cause plug
failure.
Plug Placement:
Pneumatic plugs
can elongate upon ination, causing the
plug to protrude and resulting in failure
if not initially placed far enough into
the pipe. Position the plug into the pipe
at a distance at least equal to the pipe
diameter.
Monitor Pressure:
Ination pressure
and back pressure should be monitored
and maintained to the rated plug
specications at least once per 4 hours.
More frequent monitoring may be required
for certain applications. A regulated
pressure source may be attached to the
plug during operation.
Restrained Media Restrictions:
Use of plugs with chemicals including
hydrocarbons may cause severe damage
to the plug. Plugs made of natural rubber
are designed to hold air, water or sewage.
Plug failure could result in death, serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.
Ination Media:
Cherne plugs can
be inated with air, water or inert gasses
such as nitrogen. Air and other inert gases
pose more danger than water in the case
of a plug failure.
6
1. Place the plug in the pipe or application
to be blocked or tested making sure it is
positioned inside the pipe or application
a distance at least equal to the pipe or
application diameter.
2. Connect one end of ination hose
to the plug ination tting (such as
Schrader valve, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" port
etc.). The other end of the ination hose
is connected to line pressure, pump or
another supply pressure device. Always
use an appropriate method to dump the
pressure after application.
3. If another tting (such as Schrader valve,
1/4", 3/8", 1/2" port etc.) is available,
connect a second hose to the tting.
The other end of the second hose
should be connected to a calibrated
gauge. This second hose is a pressure
read back hose.
4. Make sure to block/brace the plug
using appropriate method before
inating the plug.
5. Introduce pressure to the plug through
the ination hose. Inate the plug to the
rated ination pressure listed on the
plug. Contact Cherne Industries or
dealer for recommendations.
6. Let the plug stabilize for a few moments.
Add pressure if needed to maintain rated
ination pressure.
Over-Ination:
Do not exceed
required ination pressure. Over ination
could cause the plug to rupture and
dislodge at extreme velocity.
Under-Ination:
Inate plug to
required ination pressure. Under-ination
could cause the plug and the media
restrained to dislodge from the pipe.
7. Proceed with testing pipe, application, or
other use of plug. After test, application,
or use of the plug is complete, release
all back pressure behind the plug from
outside the danger zone.
8. When all back pressure is released,
relieve plug pressure from outside
the danger zone until the plug is
completely deated.
Always release the back pressure
from the pipe before deating the plug.
Plug deation before releasing back
pressure could cause the plug to dislodge
at extreme velocity.
9. Remove blocking/bracing system.
Remove plug from pipe and follow
storage instruction.
Maintenance and Storage
The plug may be cleaned with mild soap
and water (other cleaning agents may
cause damage).
Inate plug with 1 psig to inspect the plug
after every use. Plug should not be
used if it shows any signs of cut, wear
or deterioration. A damaged plug is
unsafe and should not be used again.
Never inate plug more than 1 psig when
the plug is outside of a pipe. Plug damage
and failure could occur.
Store the plug in a dry place away from
sunlight or other sources of ultra-violet light
and ozone. Plugs must be stored below 110°F
and can be stored suspended vertically or
placed horizontally.
